| Description : |
AOXs are able to catalyze oxidation of fatty alcohols or aryl-alcohols to form aldehydes. They utilise molecular oxygen but does not require an externally added cofactor, and hydrogen peroxide produced. AOX is a useful tool to catalyze oxidation of fatty alcohols or aryl-alcohols to produce aldehydes. |
| Applications : |
1. Normally, the reaction system should include substrate, buffer solution and AOX, and oxygen should be present.
2. All kinds of AOXs corresponding to various optimum reaction conditions, which could be studied individually.
3. High concentration Substrate or product with may inhibit AOX's activity. However, the inhibition can be relieved by batch addition of substrate.
4. The accumulation of H2O2 in the system will lead to enzyme inactivation, which can be effectively solved by the use of catalase. |
| Notes : |
Never contact with extreme conditions such as: high temperature, high/low pH and high concentration organic solvent. |
| Storage : |
Keep 2 years below -20 centigrade. |
| Advantages : |
1. High substrate specificity.
2. High conversion.
3. Less by-products.
4. Mild reaction conditions.
5. Environmentally friendly. |
